We may not be experts on astrology or the moon’s position, but we do know style alignment. And in forecasting the next month, here’s what’s in store for you.

SagittariusAdmit it: you love being needed (okay, who doesn’t?), and this month you’re serving as a real-life hero to everyone around you. Think about it – you saved your best girlfriend from a near-disaster fashion emergency (sequins aren’t for everyone), scored huge on Cyber Monday, and looked layered to perfection while doing it. All you need now is a (stylish) face mask.

CapricornWe’ll just call you Little Miss Popular. From work functions to holiday and dinner parties, your social calendar is as packed as your closets are stuffed with presents. How will you survive? Easy. Just stock up on at-home spa products (or make some yourself), light at least five candles, turn off the cell, and give yourself a bona fidespa day – right at home.

AquariusDuring this crazy time of year, everyone could use an extra hand. From the neighbor who helped you rig up the lights to the coworker who finished your last project, they all deserve a perfectly personal thank-you. Enter: the mason jar. Whether filled with cookie ingredients, hot chocolate mix, or a floating votive with holly and berries, this DIY says it all for you.

PiscesLike it or not, rumors happen. Counteract any negative energy floating around with some serious holiday spirit. Deck the halls (literally – the whole house, even the halls), make a batch of cookies for your coworkers, and O.D. on holiday music. With so much merriment surrounding you, there’s no room for Grinches.

AriesReady. Set. Relax. Work may seem crazy now, but there are much more important things that should take precedence this time of year. First: Shopping – seriously, it’s the one time of year when even your significant other wants you to. Second: Feasting – from appetizers to desserts (with wine in between) there is so much deliciousness to get into. Third… who needs a third?

TaurusLucky for you (and your gift recipients), you’ve been feeling creative recently. So it’s looking like everyone will get something of the homemade variety this year. Start with Pinterest, then go nuts. Hand-paint ornaments. Knit a scarf. Turn your favorite photos into a calendar. Just know that everyone’s expectations will forever be raised.

GeminiA matter of fact: unexpressed emotions will always come back to haunt you. So save yourself a visit from the ghosts of past, present, and future by laying it all out on the table this season. Thank your sister for her constant support with a cashmere throw. Let Dad know you appreciate him with a timeless ticker. And gift your sweetheart with a weekend away – just the two of you.

CancerWith visiting-relative season looming, make sure you take care of a couple of necessities beforehand to ensure a peaceful holiday. Translation? Stock the fridge with a few of everyone’s favorite items, add extra touches to the guest bathroom for a hotel-like feel, and make sure the in-laws know they’ll be sleeping on an air mattress.

LeoThis time of year, there are a lot of big decisions to make (does Mom want a cashmere sweater or an iPod dock?). Here to help you through it all? Gift lists galore. It’s an old trick, but they save you from making spur-of-the-moment decisions that are non-returnable. Another coping strategy? Chocolate – lots of it.

VirgoYou know exactly what you want: a sleek leather briefcase for Dad, a delicate crystal ornament for the kindly neighbor, and homemade cupcakes for the book club. But what about you? With all the upcoming party hosting, you’ll need the best yes-my-home-is-always-this-immaculate outfit. A perfect-fit, A-line dress and a little (okay, a lot of) sparkle should do the trick.

LibraForward-thinking isn’t your strong point (as evidenced by your incomplete gift list), but there’s a fix for such a condition. Instead of gifting things, opt for experiences instead. A manicure at her favorite salon, tickets to an upcoming show, a night out at their favorite restaurant. ‘Tis the season for giving, and these are the kinds of presents that send you to the gifting Hall of Fame (even if they’re last minute).

ScorpioTemptation isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Remember that I-must-have-this-immediately feeling you had about that fur hat? You’ve worn it once. So this year, make sure that dress you’re lusting over for the holiday party is totally worth it. Flattering, corset bodice? Check. Made for sky-high heels? Check. Jewel-tone hue that makes your eyes pop? Bought, bagged, and already in the closet.

We may not be experts on astrology or the moon’s position, but we do know style alignment. And in forecasting the next month, here’s what’s in store for you.

ScorpioSure, it’s always easier to react once your emotions have kicked in (as proven by your utter lust for that elbow-patched corduroy blazer that’s now in your closet). But sometimes it’s better to weigh decisions based on logic rather than feelings. For example, yes, supple suede boots are needed in 3 colors: for home, office, and your best friend’s house.

SagittariusNobody likes the feeling of being unprepared. The best counter attack? Quell all gift-giving worries with a closet stacked with what-if gifts that cover everyone from the hostess to the dog next door. Besides, anything left unused by the end of the season becomes yours by default.

CapricornIt’s a fact: friends should be able to tell one another the bitter truth. So be wary of surrounding yourself with people that are too sensitive (sniffling while watching The Notebook doesn’t count). If your bestie can’t accept that her choice of wide-leg pants aren’t the most flattering – especially when flares look like they were made for her – it’s time to toughen her up.

AquariusIt’s no secret that things are better in groups: parties, bangles, après-ski drinks. But sometimes, you crave a little alone time. Our advice? Add some cozy touches to your bathroom (scented candles and some decorative flourishes are a must), grab a good book, and lounge in the bathtub until you’re pruney.

PiscesThat urge to add some creativity into your professional life is becoming unbearable. Sigh. But until that looming promotion gives you creative license, try mixing inspiring fashion into your workwear. Color and pattern are everything, so pop in a pocket square (yes, that means you, ladies), rock a bright pump, or spice things up with a confidence-boosting red lip.

AriesYou’re a big self-motivator – your high-strung nerves alone are proof of that. But in the spirit of this hearth-loving season, you deserve a break. First up: Create your own sanctuary. We’re talking layer the couches with textured throws, pile on the pillows, and light a holly-berry scented candle (or three).

TaurusThere’s no point in hiding your emotions, so stop trying to. Feeling withdrawn? Snuggle up with a cashmere throw and watch PLL(we won’t tell). Eager to take on anything? Go daring and dress in different hues of the same color – from head to toe. No matter what mood strikes, use it to its fullest extent.

GeminiNo matter how hard you try, there’s always an excuse to get distracted from your goals. Sure, that vacation to Cancun sounds amazing now that the cooler weather has arrived, but what about that fur-trimmed puffer coat you’ve been eyeing? Life’s all about choices… and knowing how to charge things on two credit cards.

CancerOkay, so you’re a little possessive (yes, that woman was practically drooling over your new over-the-knee boots, but who wouldn’t?). Put those territorial tendencies to work for you: box out at that sample sale, Quick! Buy It before they get their paws on your fur vest, and monogram every last surface of your home.

LeoOld world thinking tells you to work hard in the morning and relax at night – but that doesn’t apply to you. Instead, save your mornings for leisurely coffee breaks and 11AM shopping sprees, and leave the heavy lifting (a.k.a. spinning class, presentation prep, and meetings) for the late afternoon. Change is a good thing.

VirgoSometimes the best way to show your friends you care is with a little extra attention – and you’ve got a friend in need. Steal her away for an impromptu afternoon cupcake, or gift her with a framed photo (that you “just had lying around”). If that doesn’t work, a little retail therapy cures all.

LibraThe whole split-focus thing is working for you – just don’t lose fashion base in the frenzy. By day, you’re career-minded in supremely tailored dresses and blazers. By night, you’re the world’s best wingwoman in sequins and lace. But remember: Your Sunday uniform of dark leggings, an oversized sweater, and fur-trimmed boots speaks louder than all outfits.
